Bank transactions: Match partial invoice values

I think Myob should be able to match uneven amounts that are deposited.

This is particularly troublesome for me as I receive eftpos deposits containing several progress payments across multiple invoices. This makes matching to invoices incredibly difficult and I have to enter customer payments. This makes having bank feeds redundant to a degree.

There already is a column for matching called "amount to apply" but you cannot edit it. It would be ideal if this feature could be added.

Thank you for your post, Cathy. We can certainly see the benefit in being able to specify an amount in the Amount to apply column. This would help in avoiding a Customer Payment transaction when only a part of the invoice is paid. We hope to have this ability included in a future update. We request others who would like this change to please vote and comment.

I am too very frustrated with not being able to match part payments to invoices. MYOB please advise when this option will be actioned, as I have just trialed Xero and its no problem with their software.

The above comments were back in February and you still have this under consideration!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for posting a detailed response as to how to workaround this problem in myob.

To assist all the other users, can you also please add to that response, that when matching they MUST select the 1st part payment. If the second one is selected MYOB will treat the invoice as completely paid. The 2 part payments are indistinguiable in description other than the dollar value. This could be easily avoided by Myob.

Can you also advise when this problem is going to be resolved. As you can tell, there are many people who have similar problems.

If it is going to be a very long way away, and considering this issue was raised and posted in February this year, with no commitment by Myob to have this fixed, I will have no alternative but to move to xero. For an extra $20 per month...I'll have no issues. And as an accountant I have no issues recommending the same to others.

I've raised this issue on so many occassions, but there is still no commitment and continues to falls on deaf ears.

The thing is...Myob you are almost there. And I've truly enjoyed seeing the progress and how useful the basics are to my business. But I simply cannot spend hours doing workarounds. Time is money.

As for the ability to manually update the 'Amount to Apply' field when matching, it is definitely something that our developers are looking into. However I'm unfortunately unable to provide a timeframe on when it may be implemented.

That's great to know for all the current users of myob! It will save hours in a day.

2 years was a long time to wait for this feature and unfortunately I've had to move to Xero because without a commitment of a day when this feature was going to be available, if ever, I had no choice but to make the move to Xero in the interim.

I'm very happy with Xero now and the more I use it, the more time I have to work on my businesses instead of in them.

I reckon myob is very powerful now that it has this feature and will recommend both Xero and Myob highly.
